Written by Marie Lebert with the help of Wikipedia, this collection of short biographies is a tribute to women translators of the past, from the 16th to the 20th century. After being anonymous or hidden behind a male pseudonym, women began to sign their translations with their real names in the 16th century. They were literary figures, scientists and political thinkers. They were also trailblazers for women’s rights, and fought for gender equality and education for all women. [web version]
The second part ("Thirty trailblazing women authors / translators") offers longer biographies for some of them. [web version]
